Coding agent

Tools with a clear boundary.

Give the server one approved PDF folder. Local tools create new outputs and refuse existing output filenames.

  • Inspect size and page count.
  • Try repacking without rasterizing pages.
  • Extract a reviewed range or merge files in order.
  • Return a first-party website workflow link.

Set up the local server

Extract the source bundle, review it, then install its locked dependencies. Use a supported Node.js environment; the fresh-install test used Node 24.14.0 on macOS.

npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund

Configure your MCP client with the server path and an existing folder containing only approved PDFs.

BITEPDF_MCP_ROOT="/absolute/path/to/approved-pdfs" node /absolute/path/to/bitepdf-mcp-server.mjs

The environment variable must be passed to the same server process. The bundle includes Claude Code and Codex configuration examples; review permissions in your client.

Download integrity

Compare the archive’s SHA-256 with the checksum file.

What is verified—and what comes next

A fresh local installation and 11 server tests passed, including actual stdio tool calls. Client-specific model sessions, Colab, Windows and physical-device behavior have not been verified.

The link tool does not transfer files or start processing. Video preparation uses the website; standalone MP3/WAV compression, captions and AI video enhancement are not included. This is a local source bundle, not a hosted MCP endpoint or npm-published plugin.

Keep originals. Review forms, signatures, links, text and page order before using an output. Compression and exact size targets are not guaranteed.
